Grape Dumpling
Louise

I am making grape dumpling for a group of 125

This is my starting point.

Ingredients

1 c Flour
1 1/2 t Baking Powder
6 t Sugar
1/4 t Salt
1T Shortening
1/2 c Grape Juice

This is what I think it should be

15 pounds flour
2 cups baking powder
4 cups sugar
4 1/4 cup shortening
4 1/2 gallon grape juice

Just wondering if this is right?

This is about 60 times the original recipe, but not completely accurate. Is that what you have in mind? Write back.

Yes, correct 60 times.
I see I forgot the salt which would be 4 tablespoons?

It is very difficult to distribute the salt and baking powder in this large amount of flour. Suggest you use self-rising flour for this (try it for a small batch), and consider making it in 3 parts/batches.
15 pounds flour (self rising has baking powder and salt)
7 1/2 cups sugar
3 3/4 cup shortening
7 1/2 quarts grape juice
